Answer:The answer is 3000 N.

Force (F) is the multiplication of mass (m) and acceleration (a).

F = m · a

It is given:

mc = 1000 kg

mt = 2000 kg

total force: F = 4500 N 

total mass: m = mc + mt

Let's calculate acceleration which is common:

a = F/m = F/(mc + mt) = 4500/(1000 + 2000) = 4500/3000 = 1.5 m/s²

Now, when we know acceleration, let's calculate force on the truck:

Ft = mt · a = 2000 · 1.5 = 3000 N

A thin, flat washer is a disk with an outer diameter of 14 cm and a hole in the center with a diameter of 7 cm. The washer has a
Kryger [21]

Answer:

2583.9 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Outer diameter = 14 cm

Outer radius, R = 7cm = 0.07m

Inner diameter = 7 cm

Inner radius, r = 3.5 cm = 0.035m

Charge of washer = 8 nC = 8 * 10^(-9)C

Distance from washer, z = 33 cm = 0.33m

The electric field due to a washer (hollow disk) is given as:

E = k * σ * 2π [ 1 - z/(√(z² + R²)]

Where σ = charge per unit area

σ = q/π(R² - r²)

σ = 8 * 10^(-9) /(π*(0.07 - 0.035)²)

σ = 2.077 * 10^(-6) C/m²

=> E = 9 * 10^9 * 2.077 * 10^(-6) * 2π * [1 - 0.33/(√(0.33² + 0.07²)]

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * (1 - 0.978)

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * 0.022

E = 2583.9 N/C

You walk six blocks east along 12th Street, then three blocks west, then one block east, then six blocks east, then seven blocks
Oksana_A [137]
Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.

The distance from Abdullah's house to his school is 2.4km. Abdulla takes 0.6h to go to school on his cycle but takes only 0.4h t
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The average speed can be calculated as the quotient between the distance travelled and the time needed to travel that distance.

To go to the school, he travels 2.4 km in 0.6 hours, then here the average speed is:

s = (2.4km)/(0.6 hours) = 4 km/h

To return to his home, he travels 2.4km again, this time in only 0.4 hours, then here the average speed is:

s' = (2.4 km)/(0.4 hours) = 6 km/h.

Now, if we want the total average speed (of going and returning) we have that the total distance traveled is two times the distance between his home and school, and the total time is 0.6 hours plus 0.4 hours, then the average speed is:

S = (2*2.4 km)/(0.6 hours + 0.4 hours)

S = (4.8km)/(1 h) = 4.8 km/h

"The burning of fossil fuels produces gases which are capable of trapping heat resulting into the current rise in the global tem
padilas [110]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.
